The Electric Heat Aid Acid Test

It works, it works, IT WORKS!

Our new gas heating system, installed yesterday, and programmed to come on at six this morning, works perfectly. And I did the programming, with the guidance of a manual that explained the touch screen system. I was very dubious about this, but at precisely six this morning there was a gratifying gush and rush of warm air.

Just like there was last winter when the electric furnace was working. Along with a thermostat dial and a timer that buzzed gently to itself and clicked over the little plastic red and green flags that turned the thing on and off. A simple, mechanical system, but not one that really needed a manual written by a million monkeys.

You may now think of me warmly.

As hot as it is here (about 32C), I'd prefer to think of you cooly, if you don't mind...

Oh, good! I'm happy you and the family are all snug now. :-)
